Congressional support for Australia has paid dividends with the Trump administration

In the latest edition of the Security Challenges journal, USSC research fellow Dougal Robinson describes how relations between the United States and Australia have stabilised after the infamous Trump-Turnbull phone call in January of this year. Critical to the righting of the ship was the strong, bipartisan public response from senior US Representatives and Senators.
